Institutional investors have recently added to or reduced their stakes in the stock.

The new features enable users to loop videos for repeated play or to re-view an incoming Snap for as long as they like without the normal automatic deletion kicking in after one viewing.

I think the bottom line is, like, if you want to be a creative company you've got to get comfortable with and basically enjoy the fact that people are going to copy your products if you make great stuff. Last year, the company was rebranded as Snap Inc and moved into the hardware space with Spectacles, colourful sunglasses that record short clips to post on Snapchat.
